These chalcones are cyclized with hydrazine hydrate and glacial acetic acid under reflux condition give pyrazole derivatives. These compounds have been characterized by detailed spectral analysis and have been screened for their antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus Niger and Anti inflammatory activity (by invitro) Key words: Antimicrobial activity, Anti inflammatory activity, chalcones, pyrazole. INTRODUCTION The chemistry of chalcones has generated intensive scientific interest due to their biological and industrial applications. Chalcones are natural biocides and are well known intermediates in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds exhibiting various biological activities. Chalcones and their derivatives possess some interesting biological properties such as antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal, anesthetic, antiinflammatory, analgesic etc 1-9. Pyrazole is a class of compounds, which has many applications in different field. One of the methods for the synthesis of such compound is from unsaturated carbonyls (chalcone) by the cyclization with hydrazine and substituted hydrazine. Pyrazole and their derivatives are considered to be important for drugs and agricultural chemicals. Some substituted pyrazoles and their derivatives have been reported to possess several interesting biological activities such as hypnotic properties, antimicrobial, antitumor and antifungal. Many pyrazoles are used for the treatment of thyroid and leukemia. It has incidental antiviral activity against Herpes infections 10. MATERIAL METHODS SYNTHETIC METHOD STEP 1: Synthesis of Ethyl-4-amino benzoate 11 To p-amino benzoic acid 12 gms (0.088 moles) add 80 ml of 95% v/v ethanol in a round bottom flask and 4 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid add slowly. Refluxed for 2 hour at 60 o C on water bath. Then cooled the flask for several minutes. Then added 150 ml of 10 % sodium carbonate solution, which resulted in the evolution of considerable gas until the solution is neutralized. Filtered the solution and collect the precipitate. Recrystallized from rectified spirit and drying in desiccators under vacuum. (% yield 68 % w/w: m.pt: 91 C 92 C) STEP 2: Synthesis of Ethyl-4-acetamido benzoate To 6.6 g of Ethyl-4-amino benzoate (0.045 moles) added 12 ml of acetic anhydride and few mgs of zinc dust. Refluxed for 1 hour. Cooled the content

(% yield 64 % w/w: m.pt: 104 C 105 C) STEP 3: Synthesis of Chalcones To Ethyl-4-acetamido benzoate (2.07 g, 0.01 moles) added aromatic aldehydes (0.01 moles) in ethanol (20 ml) and catalytic quantity of sodium hydroxide. The mixture was stirred for 2 to 3 hours at room temperature using magnetic stirrer. The reaction was monitored by TLC and it was kept at room temperature and then cooled in an ice bath. After filtration, the product was washed with ethanol (5 ml) followed by distilled water, dried and crystallized from ethanol to yield a pure chalcones. (14) STEP 4: Synthesis of Chalcone derivatives (pyrazolines) 12 To the ten different Chalcones (0.01 moles) added glacial acetic acid (10 ml) and hydrazine hydrate 99 % (0.01 mole). Refluxed for 8 hour on water bath at 80 C and cool it. The resulting solid was filtered, washed with distilled water. Recrystallized from ethanol and drying in desiccators. Biological Assay 13 Bacterial stains Strains of Pseudomonas aeroginosa (resistant to ceftazidime, cefepime), Staphyloclccuc aureus (resistant to oxacilline), Aspergillus niger, Escherichia coli,, Bacillus subtilis, and Salmonella typhyimurium were used. The bacterial strains were clinical isolates from the SRM School of Biotechnology, Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, India. Bacterial strains were maintained on Mueller Hinton Agar. For inoculums preparations, bacteria were sub culture in peptone water, at 37 o C for 18 hrs. The total viable count of culture was average 1 x 10 12 /ml. Assay of Inhibition of bacterial growth The antimicrobial activities of compounds C 1 to C 10 were determined by the cup plate method. The tested bacterial suspension was homogenously seeded onto petri dishes containing 15 ml of the MH agar medium. Holes were aseptically bores into the agar with a hallow punch and 25 μl aliquots of the extract were placed into wells with sterile pipette. The plate was kept for 2 hrs at room temperature for the diffusion of the extract into the agar. Bacterial growth inhibition was determined as the diameter of the inhibition zone around the holes. Ethyl acetate was used as a solvent for dilution of the extracts. COOH COOCH 2 CH 3 COOCH 2 CH 3 Esterification N-Acetylation CH 3 CH 2 OH (CH 3 CO) 2 O Con.

P Prasanna raja et al /Int.J. ChemTech Res.2010,2(4) 2000 Determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) The plates were incubates at 37 0 C for 18 hrs. The MIC was considered the lowest concentration of the samples that prevents visible growth. In-vitro anti-inflammatory activity 14 All the newly synthesized compounds were tested for Anti-inflammatory activity by In-Vitro (HRBC) Human Red Blood Cell Membrane Stabilization method. The reaction mixtures (4.5 ml) consisted of 2 ml hypotonic saline solution, phosphate buffer (P H 7.4) and 1 ml test solution in normal saline. 0.5 ml of 10 % rabbit RBC in normal saline was added. For control tests, 1 ml of isotonic solution was used instead of test solution while product control tests lacked RBC. The mixtures were incubated at 56 0 C for 30 min, cooled under running water and centrifuged and the absorbances of the supernatants were read at 560 nm. Percentage membrane stabilizing activity was calculated as follows, Percentage stabilization = (O. D. Of Test O.D. of product control) 100 - --------------------------------- 100 O. D. of control The control represents 100 % lysis. The result was compared with STD (100μg/ml) treated samples. Result and Discussion All the synthesized compounds were characterized by TLC, Melting point, elemental analysis, IR, Mass, and 1 H NMR. Analysis indicated by the symbols of the elements is very close to the theoretical values. The compounds were evaluated for their anti microbial activity by cup-plate method against various Gram positive, Gram negative bacteria and fungal stains. Many of the compounds show comparable activity with that of standard (Ampicillin and Ketoconazole). The compounds were also evaluated for their invitro Anti-inflammatory activity by HRBC membrane stabilization method. All the compounds have highly significant activity when compared with standard drug Ibuprofen, with percentage of inhibition to the inflammatory response ranging from 62% to 75%.

Biological activity The Compounds C 1 to C 10 were tested for antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Staphyloclccuc aureus, Aspergillus niger, Escherichia coli,, Bacillus subtilis, and Salmonella typhyimurium. Many of the compounds show comparable activity with that of standard (Ampicillin and Ketoconazole). The result revealed that the growth of bacterial strains against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhyimurium and get affected by compounds C 1, C 2, C 3, C 4, C 5, C 6, C 7, C 8, C 9, and C 10 which is seen by inhibition of 5, 7, 6, 5, 6, 5, 8, 7, 8, and 6 mm respectively(table 1). The compounds were also evaluated for their Anti-inflammatory activity invitro by HRBC membrane stabilization method. All the compounds have highly significant activity when compared with standard drug Ibuprofen, with percentage of inhibition to the inflammatory response ranging from 64% to 75%.

CONCLUSION Chalcones and Pyrazole derivatives were synthesized. Compounds with electron releasing groups such as methoxy and hydroxyl showed better antibacterial activity than other not having such groups. Compounds having pharmacophore, such as chloro group have exhibit more antifungal activity than the other. These results suggest that the chalcone derivatives have excellent scope for further development as commercial antimicrobial agents. Further experiments were needed to elucidate their mechanism of action. REFERENCES 1.
